Taishi Hainan Chicken

Joanna 8 months ago

Ordered online their original hainan chicken rice. Unfortunately, the chicken was dry and tasted old. Their (brown?) rice was mushy and not fluffy. Their sauces were disappointing with no fresh ginger or chili included. I'm used to having it along with broth but it didn't even come with that. My go to spot is Heng Heng Chicken Rice 2 but since they're closed from December 22-24, I thought I'd give this place a try. And it was more expensive here $17.66 than Heng Heng's $14.50 I don't think I'll order from here again unless the quality improves.

Love Taishi Hainan Chicken. Usually get their Steam Hainan full of flavor and Big Volume. Their chicken soup is so warm and healing. Had their white broth Ramen and soup taste is bland but still chicken was juicy. At least it is fixable by adding Sriracha and stuff. Also bland is good when you are not feeling great and don't have appetite the white one is go to. It like chicken soup for cold but in a Ramen version. The Black broth, I had a sip, had more pepper like flavor. Definitely give them a try!

So I thought the mixed chicken was yummy and everything was about right. Right portions and flavors. The boba was good flavor but the boba itself was mushy liken pudding. The rice was a little mushy too. I think I'll be back, it's got great choices and a lot to go for. But let me say the pho was average. Nothing amazing. Great prices for the food I my though. I'm not a big fan of whatever happening with the design. I can't tell if it's all Asian countries or just a few. It's like korean, Japanese, Chinese and a little Vietnamese for spice.

Taishi Hainan Chicken was pretty good! The flavors were tasty and I enjoyed the dish overall. The chicken was a little drier than I expected, but hopefully next time it will be a bit more moist and tender. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying the fried version too. Excited to see how it compares!

Great local gem tucked into a small strip mall at Torrance and Prospect. When the previous restaurant in this location closed it was a sad day because the lady who ran that place was an artist and a master. What a pleasant surprise to have another great spot in the same place. Taishi Hainan has continuously expanded the menu with new flavors, dishes, noodles, and even boba teas. The original and friend chicken are both amazing.. the friend is perfectly crispy and very tender while the steamed chicken has subtle flavor and perfect texture. Use a little less sauce to let the flavor shine through. The garlic dumplings and chicken soup are also next level. Plus they are open LATE.. nothing good here is open late.. so that is awesome. The food comes out quickly and hot, and the prices are totally reasonable, quality is high and portions generous.
